• Health Monitoring: Continuous health checks with automatic recovery
• Simple Deployment: YAML-based application specifications
• RESTful API: Complete programmatic control
• High Availability: Distributed controller with leader election eliminates single points of failure
• Database HA: PostgreSQL-based state management with primary-replica replication

Key Features

• Container Orchestration: Docker-based application lifecycle management
• Multi-Metric Auto-Scaling: CPU, memory, RPS, latency, and connection-based scaling
• Dynamic Load Balancing: Nginx with health-aware routing and SSL termination
• Health Monitoring: Continuous health checks with automatic recovery
• Distributed Architecture: 3-node controller cluster with leader election
• High Availability: Automatic failover and split-brain prevention
• CLI and REST API: Complete programmatic and command-line interfaces
• Persistent State: PostgreSQL with primary-replica setup
• Event Logging: Complete audit trail and cluster event tracking
• Resource Management: CPU/memory constraints and intelligent scaling policies
